Cayenne is about 10 times hotter than a jalapeño. This spicy cayenne powder is perfect for those who like heat (50-60k Scoville units – if you’re looking for some even (!) hotter check out our Organic Bird’s Eye Chili Powder that comes in around 150,000 Scoville units). Our cayenne is grown on the equator and potent, so use sparingly to add smokey citrus flavor and heat to your recipes. Our professional chef customers have raved about the quality of our cayenne. Because ours is so fresh and potent, you’ll probably want to use about half of what your recipe calls for. It also builds heat as you cook, so it’s wise to add it in toward the end of your cooking if you’re trying to not make your dish too spicy. Organic Ingredient: Cayenne peppers
